Combining properties
You can save properties files that cover different groups of properties and use these files to define many rules. For example, you can have one file for bolt properties and another for profile properties. AutoDefaults combines the separate files into one file. This means that you can define fewer files because you can use one file for several rules. If the files contain different values for the same property, Tekla Structures uses the last property it finds, see the example image below.
Iterating properties
Tekla Structures tests the properties until the connection symbol is yellow or green. Iteration changes the properties automatically if the connection is not created successfully, even if the rules match. If connection check is active, the iteration results in properties that have passed the check.
